> I'm switching from Zyprexa to Seroquel because of unwelcomed weight gain. I'm worried that Seroquel won't work as well and that I might run into side-effects that I cannot tolerate. Can anybody out there describe the differences in experiential profiles. Thanks for responding, Mimi
Hi Mimi:Well, we all respond differently, but I found Seroquel more sedating, and it did seem to cause a "bit" less anxiousness than Zyprexa. I honestly don't see why you wouldn't do good on the Seroquel, and regarding the weight gain, I understand and have read that after the first three-four months on the med, the weight gain 'levels off'. So, go slow and 'low' with the Seroquel. Please keep posting. Best wishes..:-)
